Nvidia is investigating bringing their Shield line to Australia

Nvidia has transitioned from being a parts manufacturer into a more consumer product manufacturer over the last couple of years. Their Shield line of hand-held gaming devices, Tablet and now Android TV based console have been hotly coveted by Australians as we looked on at international sales in the US and Europe, but that may be about to change.

Nvidia has confirmed that they are currently in talks with local retail chains here in Australia to bring their Shield Tablet and controller to Australia, and the next step once that launch has occurred would be to bring their Shield Console to Australia next.

There’s no confirmations as to which retailers are in talks, nor exactly when this will happen. Nvidia has been talking about bringing Shield to Australia for a while now, but it’s positive that they’re still in talks.

Dan is a die-hard Android fan. Some might even call him a lunatic. He's been an Android user since Android was a thing, and if there's a phone that's run Android, chances are he owns it (his Nexus collection is second-to-none) or has used it.

Dan's dedication to Ausdroid is without question, and he has represented us at some of the biggest international events in our industry including Google I/O, Mobile World Congress, CES and IFA.

My thoughts regarding nvidia Shield are quite simple.
Either bring it to Australia now, or clearly say no go. Shield has been out for a few years now, so any need for more stalling time ‘talking to local chains’ is IMO complete and utter BS.
